Dana White shuts down Ilia Topuria’s baseless loaded gloves claim against Justin Gaethje

UFC President Dana White has dismissed cheating allegations made by Ilia Topuria against Justin Gaethje. Following his loss to Gaethje at UFC Freedom 250 in June, Topuria claimed that Gaethje had loaded his gloves. White refuted the claims, stating that inspectors and the head of the California State Athletic Commission closely monitored Gaethje wrapping his hands and putting on his gloves.

Andy Foster, the head of the CSAC, also confirmed there was nothing wrong with Gaethje's gloves. Gaethje called the accusation a lame excuse, while his future plans remain uncertain as he decides whether to retire or return to the cage next year. Meanwhile, Arman Tsarukyan is targeting a return in December.
